Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Kloosterhuis is a Platform Architect with nine years focused on cloud-native platform engineering, now leading the Platforms division at the Dutch Statistics Office (CBS). He combines deep hands-on expertise across vendor stacks (Rancher, RKE2, Tanzu, VCF) with product ownership skills—shaping roadmaps, coordinating stakeholders, and running high-availability Kubernetes runtimes like Kubit. Robert has a strong operational background from large-scale SRE and platform roles (Tanzu, TKGi, BOSH, NSX-T, Terraform, Argo) and regularly bridges engineering, enablement and knowledge sharing. He’s repeatedly been the go-to technical lead for greenfield on-prem Kubernetes and private cloud designs at public and enterprise organizations. Colleagues rely on him not just for architecture but for turning platform strategy into repeatable, automated delivery. Based in The Hague, he pairs pragmatic infrastructure troubleshooting with a penchant for evangelism and internal capability building.
